Singer-songwriter Bruno Mars leads the charge when it comes to the most-nominated artists at the upcoming 2017 American Music Awards. The "Versace On The Floor" star earned eight nods, including for Artist of the Year and Video of the Year. He is followed by a number of other beloved acts, such as Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran, The Chainsmokers and The Weeknd, all of whom collected five nominations this time around.

The first round of nominations was announced this morning onGood Morning America, when singer Ciara showed up to reveal a handful of the most important categories and the pop verticals. Just a few hours later, the American Music Awards released the rest of the names, sharing the lengthy full list of nominees.

Somewhat controversially, there are no women nominated in the Artist of the Year tier, and only one when it comes to New Artist of the Year. Also, there are a few of nominees that either weren't very active during the eligibility period, such as Twenty One Pilots, who are currently taking a break after promoting their massively successful album Blurryface. There were also some titles that were nominated for the same kind of award in more than one genre vertical, such as Bruno Mars' 24k Magic record, which is up for both Favorite Pop and R&B/Soul Album, blocking out other suitable nominees.

The 2017 American Music Awards are slated to air live from Los Angeles on Sunday, November 19. Here is the full list of nominees:
